What it is
These are pre-made biscuits that are ready to bake. They come in a convenient package, typically a refrigerated tube. The dough is already formed into individual biscuit shapes, making them easy to prepare for baking. They are designed to provide a quick and simple way to enjoy freshly baked biscuits at home without the need for extensive preparation. The texture is generally soft and fluffy.
How people cook with it
These biscuits are a versatile addition to many meals. They can be served as a side dish or incorporated into various recipes.

To prepare, simply open the refrigerated tube and separate the biscuit dough. Place the individual biscuits onto a baking sheet, ensuring they have a little space between them. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, usually until they are golden brown and puffed up. The baking time is typically short, making them a quick option for a meal or snack. They are best served warm, straight from the oven.
